I wonder how much I would have to pay to have Mike make the King of Spades into Neo

10 gross should do it.

Or...... One Walrus Tusk!!!!

Thanks!

Hmmm... I can't tell which version I like better... but I think possibly the new "UC" logo version...

Only two things I can say about "UC" logo option at the moment:
1. Seems like the logo in the middle is kinda... too large.... or something. Too prominent for just two plain letters. Maybe if the letters had more detail to them like some kind of tarnished metal look, then it would be fine.
2. Might be interesting to consider how it would look if the logo were not "on top" of the diagonal bar. Perhaps it could be somehow enveloped by the diagonal bar. (I'm not too sure about this suggestion.... just a thought.)

The king court cards look pretty cool.
1. What if the kings had green eyes??
2. I like the king of clubs & spades much better than the hearts and diamonds. The clubs/spades have green TRIM on their clothes which looks nice... but the hearts/diamonds have too much green FILL on their clothes.

Concerning the border on the back design.
1. I really like the green color of the border.
2. I am a little afraid that with standard fat white borders, plus the green border, plus the silver metallic border... that it might be too much border. But if we do end up with skinny white borders, then it would probably be fine.

You seem to have forgotten the mustaches on the Queens.....

Talk is cheap, bring it on.

You know you're criticizing Bicycle's Court designs right? I'm pretty sure they have the hearts/diamonds with more fill color to differentiate them from the Black clubs/spades suits.

The white border on the Back design is definitely not the standard fat white border when printed to scale.

Concerning some of the other Court suggestions from Magicaddictz and Max. In order to do some of them I would need to convert and rasterize 50+ cards from Illustrator to Photoshop, isolate the green and grey areas, and add the layer effects or other elements to each detail and PIP separately. I don't have the free time to invest in such time-consuming additions that won't add much to the overall look. There's a reason so many decks implement re-colored versions of standard Courts - they can be quickly and effectively modified to match the colors of the custom components of the Deck.

Thanks, Randy

I like the interlocking UC logo. Also standard faces with a green/gray color scheme is perfect. I don't think the courts should be customized any further. Just keep it simple, it is more classy and less merz67-like

love the linked UC design.... oh wait, of course I do!

im not in love with words on the back design. But that's just me - unless it was like a linked "U C"

ha ha. And the face cards look awesome!

I agree with this statement.

You seem to have forgotten the mustaches on the Queens.....

That would make a cool set of gaff cards....

2 extra cards a King without his mustache and a queen with hers. You'd be creating a built in effect to the deck making it more desirable to Magicians. You could even create a contest - the submitter who comes up with the best presentation of "Moving Mustache" gets a free deck.

Duplicate post. Sorry!

The banner is it changed !? BMPokerworld is now write on it !?

Sorry, it's not the main subject

I really like the 2nd back with the interlocking UC logo. Love the use of green in the courts too.

Yes. I have added sponsored by Bmpokerworld.com to the heading.

Thanks!

Wow!!!! Randy has just sent me some final pictures for you guys to take a look at. He has done 2 different tuck boxes, one with a diamond on the front and one with a traditional AOS. In addition, he also made a slight change on the back design, adding something detail between where the UC logos meet each other. You will also get a look at the seal. Feedback is welcome and expected.

AWESOME!

I like the spade pip on the tuck, not the diamond pip

What he said

what THEY said

Yes spades on the tuck please ! But i dont like the green bar with United Cardist on the side, it makes the ratio of the tuck box look very strange. And i think we all know its a UC deck, Unitedcardists.com doesnt have to be plastered all over the deck. The cards are really coming together well, amazing job by randy given the short period of time he has worked on it

The bar on the side is for people who come across the deck and who are not familiar with unitedcardists. That is why we put it there.

Thanks!

The green bar is what I REALLY like. And, I think it only says UnitedCardists on the green bar.. and on the AoS (from the pictures they've posted). So I really don't think that's plastered all over it. You can't count the UC logo.

I meant that it can be done more subtly, it doesnt have to be 'in your face' like how the green bar is right now, think about the coterie deck, the words coterie etc were very smoothly integrated into the design of the tuck box. For now the UnitedCardists in on the green bar and the AOS. But it can also be included in the info at the bottom of the tuck, side of the tuck, and on the ad cards, wouldnt that be enough instead of having a separate obstrusive element on the tuck box?

Im not imposing my views on anyone, just my opinions

Opinions are welcomed. That is what we want.

Thanks!

Where can I get them?

Whilst I haven't really had the time to comment and give too many opinions on this, i'm blown away by the speed of which this has developed into what looks to be a beautiful deck.

WOW! Great work on the tuck!! I love the green bar on the side on the tuck with United Cardists (just like the banner for the website) I love the little stretched out diamond on the updated back design for the interlock UC logos meet and I spade UC on the front of the tuck box gets my vote instead of the diamond pip on the front.

Seal is ok...kinda plain, but at least its custom. I don't really know what I'd want otherwise from the seal, so its all good, haha.

Welcome to the forum!

These are still in the design stage. When they are printed, they will be available here.

CBJ

A HUGE WOW!!! These are fantastic! DEFINITELY in for a brick, at the least!

One of the pricing options I will be looking at is having the scales on the front embossed and using green foil for the UC in the spade.

Than ks!
